P.S.: I'm using the eastern way of name-addressing, which means the last name is said first…
With a painful echoing voice
They sing out with all of their hearts
Without knowing the meaning of happiness, sleeping in darkness
Hong Kong International Airport
'Flight Number J738 to Tokyo, Japan now boarding'
A man that looked in his mid-twenties stood up, luggage in one hand and a styrofoam cup of coffee in the other. His eyes were shadowed by his chestnut hair, his mouth in a slight frown.
'I better get something good out of this project…' he muttered under his breath, as he threw the styrofoam cup in the trash bin and headed to board the plane.
Tokyo Japan
The Kokkai Gijidou. The chief legislative building of the Japanese Government. That is what it all is to the eyes of most people. But down on the basement, a laboratory is cleverly hidden, with very few people authorized to enter.
"He'll be arriving in a few hours, wouldn't he?" asked a young woman, with brown hair, and hazel eyes, named Yanagisawa Naoko.
"Yes." Answered another, who was taller than her, with red hair and brown eyes, Mizuki Kaho.
"He's one of the best in China, Mizuki-san, I'm sure he'll be able to find something out."
"I hope you're right…"
She looked up from her clipboard and onto the screen, where an auburn-haired girl was shown, looking out of the window.
"I hope you're right…"
Li Syaoran was never a fan of plane rides. He never liked the food, the 'seat-mates' and especially flirty air stewardesses.
The plane landed in Japan, he headed towards immigration and is now on a taxi ride to his hotel. The clouds looked a bit gloomy, signaling Tokyo that it was about to rain. Thunder can be distinctly heard throughout. He closed his eyes and sighed.
"Bad day?" The taxi driver asked, his eyes off the road and onto him for a few seconds, as if waiting for an answer.
"How can you tell?" He answered back in Japanese, a bit thankful that his mother forced him to take Japanese lessons when he was in high-school.
The taxi driver looked back at the road again…"You looked stressed, and you keep sighing. Anyone who'll look at you will probably have that same conclusion."
"It's just that, eh… how should I put this…"
"It's alright. It's not part of my job to butt in to my passenger's private life." The taxi driver said with a slight chuckle.
"No, you're not exactly butting in. It's just that, a lot has been happening to my life recently…"
"You mean problems?"
"Something like that."
"You're already having a lot of problems at this age? You're not even qualified for a mid-life crisis yet."
"Kind of…"
"It'll be alright. Nothing goes on forever. Good things end, and so do bad things."
"I…I guess you're right…"
"Well, I get quite a lot of passengers. And this probably one of the most interesting talks I've had so far with one of them…Oh, we're already here…"
"Uh… yeah…"
He paid the taxi driver and stepped out of the car. After he took out his luggage from the back of the car and walked towards the hotel.
"Good things end, and so do bad things… eh?"
"A visitor?"
"Hai…"
"Don't you mean another one of you guys?"
"You make it sound as if that's a bad thing."
"Now, now Kaho. Just because got dumped by your boyfriend doesn't mean you have to take your anger out on me."
"Sakura…"
"Or is it that time of the month?"
"I should be asking you the same question,"
"Well, I'm glad you didn't."
"Back to the topic. Someone from Hong Kong is coming. To finally grant your wish."
"You mean…"
"Yes, but you do know that they wouldn't be to happy if they hear about this."
"I know. But I won't change my mind."
"Sakura…"
"I won't change my mind Kaho… I won't…" The girl said, tears forming on the edge of her eyes.
"But… what if we can find a solution for this problem?"
"You already tried Kaho… not once but plenty of times before."
"But what if I succeed this time?"
"I'm not discouraging you or anything but if it fails again, I'm going to go through my plan."
"You sure are hard-headed, Sakura."
"That's something really nice to say...Well, I don't want you to get caught. You better go now. Oyasuminasai."
"Oyasumi…"
She pushed a blue button and the hologram disappeared.
'A four-leaf clover. Why did it have to be me?' She thought.
"Is this what they called 'Destiny'?'" She thought out loud.
She walked down the hallway and entered her bedroom. She lay down on her bed, sleep slowly consuming her.
"I guess… I guess it really is my destiny…"
Done for the second chapter… I randomly came up with that taxi conversation…
Kinda weird… As of 15 December in my time-zone, I got at least 45 hits yet only got one review. Not very encouraging… at least that one review was a bit encouraging…
Well, I posted this chapter to see if you guys still wanted me to continue… Kinda short but I don't want to give out too much! P
Who are these Guardians? What kind of problems Syaoran is talking about? What plan is Sakura and Kaho talking about?
Review and I'll reveal the answers one by one!!! Muahahahaha -chokes-
-composes herself-
Ja ne!
P.S.: The Kokkai Gijidou IS a real building in Japan. And 'Oyasuminasai' means 'Good Night'
